In the (gas engine,glow fuel,no ignition thread) its stated the formula is:
a)-car or plane fuel 10% nitro---10% oil--oil is the keyword here.1 gallon
b)-regular gas------------2 gallons.
This is all the ingredients.your running 18% oil as stated in your opening post.dont use heet.Av8tor also stated in the post about opening up the detent lever that controls how much fuel enters the diaphram section to let more fuel past the needles.hope this helps a little.I bought some fuel called white lightning at the LHS that has 8% oil content but has 20% nitro.ran ok in my echo but the rings where not that good.maybe av8tor will step in and see what he thinks about the white lightning blend as hes done more testing.
What's wrong with HEET? It's just methanol, right? I mix it with glow fuel until I get around 10% oil content then mix the whole shebang with 2 parts gasoline.
For those that can't find 10/10 fuel, try Sig:

LHS doesn't have any, after I get back from my weekend trip I'll ask him if he can order some. If I can get my hands on some I'll get that, get some new gas, and mix up a new batch and see if that doesn't help any.
